Hong Kong...Smashed it....

The hotel we stayed at was fab..the Novotel! Smart room..new year's decorations..free access to tinternet! We made a big mistake with the sleeping pattern...should have stayed awake as long as possible...instead, we chose to have a nap when we got there at 4pm...never woke up till 10.30pm..then couldnt get back to sleep all night...was up every half hour..and eatin pringles at 4 in the morning!! We suffered with jet lag for the whole visit after that!!! So next day, we were up at 6.30am..headed down for breaky. Best buffet breaky iv ever had..and we got our monies worth! ha..
We played tourist all day..went to victoria peak...which takes you to the highest point of Hong Kong..views are fab..however..we went on the mistiest day ever!! At the top of the peak, you get to "show your love" for the peak by writing on a paper heart and hanging it up! Love anything like that me...
The rest of the holiday we got round all the main tourist areas...3 bus tours, visiting old and new HK territories...the tours started off great...then it got a bit much by the fourth hour on an open top bus..we had wind burns to the face...and i nodded off a few times...too tired!! ha
Most nights, we visited the street markets..and the symphony of lights..we walked and walked and walked!!! When we ate out, we had a go at using chopsticks too..felt to embarrassed asking for a knife and fork...I could barely hold them..Kev was a natural!!

We visited the Hong Kong convention centre (where the handover of HK from UK took place, 1997) and we got mobbed by a bus load of tourists..not too sure where they were from..but it was like they had never seen a white, blonde haired girl, they kept taking pictures...kev kept saying.."they think you're someone you're not!!" haha...I think he was a bit snubbed that they didnt want any pics of him...haha...nah..they grabbed him too..posing left, right and centre!!
